Job Description

Shift Engineer

Description

Are you ready to keep one of the UK’s most advanced dairy sites running smoothly? Join us at Stourton Dairy, Arla’s second-largest and most complex site, producing over 700 million litres of nutritious products every year. This is your chance to play a key role in ensuring our operations never miss a beat.

“You’ll be part of a highly skilled engineering team, working on cutting-edge equipment and supporting projects that shape the future of dairy,”

How you will make an impact

As a Shift Engineer, you’ll provide essential maintenance and breakdown support across a 24/7 production site. Your work will keep our filling lines, chilling systems, and conveyors running efficiently while driving continuous improvement.

  * Deliver critical breakdown support across complex production lines

  * Carry out planned, preventative maintenance and servicing via CMMS

  * Diagnose and troubleshoot issues using structured problem-solving techniques

  * Champion health and safety standards and participate in risk assessments

  * Support site projects and contribute to performance improvements

This role sits within our Engineering team at Stourton Dairy and follows a 4 on 4 off, 12-hour shift pattern (2 days, 2 nights, 4 off).

What will make you successful

You’ll bring experience from FMCG, food, or other regulated manufacturing environments, along with a time‑served or apprentice‑trained engineering background at NVQ Level 3/ONC, HNC or above. Strong problem‑solving skills are essential, particularly when it comes to RCA and fault‑finding, and you’ll be confident using systems such as SAP PM or similar CMMS tools, as well as Microsoft Office. Thriving in this role also means being able to work at pace, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively across teams.

On a personal level, you’ll stand out through your proactive, solutions‑focused approach, your commitment to safety and attention to detail, and your ability to work as a genuinely collaborative team player.

What do we offer?

We’re committed to your growth and development, offering internal and external training opportunities. You’ll enjoy a competitive salary, 24 days holiday, matched pension contributions up to 6%, life assurance, and flexible benefits. At Stourton, you’ll join a team proud of its high job satisfaction and steep learning curve, with plenty of challenges and support to help you succeed.
